Without Jerky and Honeybuns there would be a lot of hungry fisherman.. Get a good landing net from the get go that can handle monster fish. You will snap the cheapies like a toothpick when you try and boat anything over 35lbs. These aren't cheap but they are made in the USA and can haul in monsters no problemo. flag

I use 34lb and 22lb box anchors, and I have 500 ft of anchor rope. Usually you can get by with less weight, and length, but somedays that's not even enough.

A short length of chain will also help it stay set.

Got some video to prove it! 25mph winds three foot rollers taken em over the front and haven't been blown off a spot yet and if your in the back of the boat you can have tight lines. I'm a stir from way back !
